The EUTR Estonia Ultra-Trail Race 65km — rebranded as the CUT Coast Ultra Trail for 2026 — ranks among the most consistently gentle ultras in the DTR database. The average uphill gradient places it 383rd of 390 European trail races (only 7 races climb more gently on average), and the average downhill gradient ranks 8th of 390 for gentleness — only 7 races descend more gently on average. With just 330m D+ across 64.8km and a biggest single ascent of 22m, this is a race where the 65km distance is the challenge — not the terrain.
The race starts at 02:00 on June 27, 2026 — deep in Estonia's white nights, when Narva at 59°N never reaches true darkness near the summer solstice. The loop runs from Äkkeküla Sports Center through Baltic forest and coastal terrain in Ida-Viru County, on Estonia's eastern border with Russia. UTMB Index and ITRA-certified (2 points). Entry €155. First held in 2018; 2026 is the 9th edition.

The EUTR 65km is a loop starting and finishing at Äkkeküla Sports Center in Narva, Ida-Viru County, eastern Estonia. The course runs through Baltic forest and coastal terrain along Estonia's northeastern edge, bordering the Gulf of Finland and the Narva River — Narva sits directly on the Estonian-Russian border with Ivangorod, Russia, visible across the water. The start is 02:00 on June 27, 2026, near the summer solstice at 59°N when Narva never reaches true darkness. The festival also stages the EUTR 132km alongside shorter distances.

The course runs through Baltic coastal forest, lowland trails, and rural paths in Narva's Ida-Viru County. With 330m D+ over 64.8km and the biggest single climb at 22m, the terrain is almost entirely flat by trail running standards. The average uphill gradient ranks 383rd of 390 European trail races — only 7 races climb more gently on average. Surface is mixed: forest singletrack, gravel paths, and coastal trails, with no technical descents, altitude sections, or alpine terrain. The 02:00 midsummer start means running in Estonia's famous white nights — twilight rather than true darkness throughout.
The EUTR 65km entry is €155 at the current pricing period; earlier tiers were available from €130. AUTO €/km works out at approximately €2.38/km. Entry awards 2 ITRA points with no prior qualification required and UTMB Index stones. Availability for the 65km is noted as limited — verify current registration status at the official race website. Total festival capacity across all distances is 1,588. First held in 2018; 2026 is the 9th edition.
The race starts at Äkkeküla Sports Center in Narva, Ida-Viru County. The nearest major airport is Tallinn (TLL), approximately 2.5–3.5 hours from Narva by road or bus — one of the longer transfers in the database at around 154 minutes. Frequent bus services connect Tallinn to Narva daily (multiple operators, Lux Express etc.). The Tallinn–Narva train also runs with fewer departures. Given the 02:00 race start on June 27, accommodation in Narva the previous night is essential; the city has a reasonable hotel supply but book early.
